Why read it?
1 author picked Power Plays & Straight A's as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a perfect example of a nerd/jock romance done right.
The entire series is great, and all of them are comfort reads for me at this point. This one stands out, though, due to the classic "opposites attract" dynamic between nerdy Zach and uber-jock Foster. Their push-and-pull chemistry was just *chef’s kiss*. I found myself laughing out loud throughout the entire book.
It's a great start to the series and a fantastic read for anyone who loves a fun, low-angst sports romance.
From Finn's list on The best gay romances with jocks, heat, and humor.
